ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL! |
|
“All that glitters is not gold” and “Where there’s muck there’s brass”
We don’t supply Ferraris, or any other shiny baubles. In fact, the two often quoted sayings above are far closer to our hearts.
The new pumps you buy from us are of course fairly glittering, especially the highly polished stainless-steel versions for food and beverages.
However, all machines, even glossy motor vehicles will deteriorate over time, and when you bring us your old pumps to refurbish we not only make them as mechanically and electrically new as possible, we make them look good too!
So do give us a call today and let us put some sparkle into your old pumps!

Phil, can a variable speed drive on my pump save energy? |
|
|
|
It might.
For example, imagine you have a shower block where there are 30 shower heads. It could be there is one shower in use, or thirty, or any number in between.
On a fixed speed pump, we would need to size a pump that can provide the flow for the maximum demand of thirty showers being used simultaneously.
Even when there is only one shower in use the pump would be trying to produce the flow for all thirty.

In this case a variable speed drive (VSD, or inverter) for the pump operating at a constant pressure would allow the pump to vary its output according to demand and therefore would save energy, and money.
Alternatively, if we had a fixed duty that never varies, for example pumping from a fixed lower tank to a higher fixed tank, then a variable speed drive will only add cost and complication to the system.
Worse than that a variable speed drive is not 100% efficient. In this case it would be less efficient than a fixed speed installation without the variable speed drive and would use more energy.
In conclusion, a VSD can make your system more efficient when the duty varies.

If your plant room looks like this, you are more vulnerable than you think.
Our supply lines are struggling to meet demand. Pumps that were available inside a week or so, are now taking eight weeks and more to arrive. Some standard units are taking several months.
In addition, we are seeing larger price rises in materials than we have witnessed in the past forty years.
I therefore have a request.
Will you please take a look at your essential process and service systems and get anything you need from us ordered now!
